Didn’t even end up getting into the hotel. I got to the hotel and called the manager to let me in, he immediately rejected the call and told me to text him. After sending him multiple texts with no reply and the same happening to other people waiting there too I cancelled my booking and found another place. Total scam don’t stay here

I stayed in the Desiree room which was very lovely. The room was beautiful, very clean, and the tub was large enough for two people. It was quiet and we weren't bothered by anyone working there or any tours.

There were some miscommunications at check-in. This is obviously a small bed and breakfast in a historical building, so there isn't full time staff that check you in. I received an Expedia message about an envelope in the lock box that had our keys and welcome materials that wasn't there and had to wait for the owner to bring us the keys. He did text us letting us know the wifi password which was supposed to be in the envelope and we didn't really need anything else.

They advertised breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, but we checked in on Saturday and there wasn't breakfast on Sunday, but that was ok with us since we wanted to look at some local restaurants.

No heating available and no new towels were provided. Had a small 3 year old child with me and this was deeply concerning. Tried to ask for help but requests went unfulfilled such as the request for an extension cord since most wall sockets were not working. Parking was good but owner made me feel unwanted and not valued as much as other guests.

Over promised and under delivered, but I'd stay there again. It is an older property so things are not perfect. It is a beautiful building and very historic. I lived in the historic French Quarter before, so I was prepared for a historic property.
The night we arrived there was a wedding going on so it took a bit to get to the lock box. The keys were in an envelope with the name of the room. After 8 hours of driving and walking through a wedding party, it would have been nice to have my name on the envelope. So I grab the wrong set of keys and eventually found someone to tell us where the room is. We drag all of our stuff from one building to another set up in the room, leave for dinner and get a phone call that we are in the wrong room. I mentioned to the lady who showed us the room that we did not book a double. It was a mess, but the housekeeper and some staff helped us move rooms and gave us drinks and a bottle of Champagne. She was wonderful.
Breakfast was not as pictured. It was lovely sitting at the table with the other guests and chatting, but the menu was limited. The owner was very nice a breakfast but not so much the night before when the mix up happened.
The upstairs room on the 3rd floor had no windows so I felt a bit claustrophobic. I worked for us, but a single person it is perfect.
All in all, I'd stay there again. Bus stop right across the street. Off street parking was advertised, but not a reality, but there is plenty of space within a couple of blocks.

The historic aspect of the house, and the beauty of the building and furnishings, really stood out. I loved getting to talk to David Villarrubia, the owner, who served the breakfast. I also enjoyed the free tour, given by Edgar Degas' grand niece.

The Degas House hotel is not a serious business. It is shabby, outdated and run-down to the point that normal cleaning is not possible. Even with the Super Bowl approaching, the hotel appeared empty. The \"office\" looked like a looted demolition project. Was the hotel even officially empty this week? Hotels.com disgraces itself by allowing such a property to be listed.

Loved it!

Very elegant. Historic. Not modern and up to date but I enjoyed that about it. The hot tub was amazing. The staff were very friendly. Parking available around the hotel so we didn’t have to pay for parking unless we went out. Within walking distance from the French Quarter. Gas station/ convenience store within walking distance. Very peaceful. They offer a tour and history of the property. They offer breakfast. Only issue I encountered was since the furniture is antique, it’s starting to break (knob missing off the wardrobe and hinges need to be oiled) and the tv would only play audio, video would not load. Overall great place to stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

My stay a Degas included mouse droppings with my coffee and tea. That was the entire stay. The breakfast area had mouse poo. The kitchen sink filled with the same dishes from when I checked in, checked out still there. There was no access to trash inside the house. The room I stayed in had mouse poo in the tub and on the bathroom floor rugs. The jetted tub was also dirty upon arrival. Amenities, absolutely nothing that was described was offered besides the room, the bed, the AC. No one was attentive. No housekeeping. No, BREAKFAST!!!! Being a Bed& Breakfast is why I had chosen the place. And I did not get breakfast at all, not even the least bit. No access to Wi-Fi. Cable was disconnected or, so. No iron. No ironing board.

horrible experience. We booked a room in this place...it can't be called a hotel. Our flight was delayed for several hours due to technical problems, which is why we arrived at 4 am. We knocked on the door, rang the bell, and no one answered us. We checked if they had sent us any code to obtain the keys and nothing. It should be noted that days before I wrote an email asking if it was necessary to carry out any new action with the reservation and they replied no.So we decided to go to a random hotel and return at 8 am, a time that was indicated as opening hours on the sign on the door. We never found anyone, not even guests. The doors closed and no one to attend to us. Then at 10:00 am the person who claimed to be the owner of the place arrived and disclaimed all responsibility. We entered his office which was also extremely dirty and messy. An absolute lack of respect, an irrecoverable waste of time on a trip. regrettable. a total lack of respect.

Cool house, no custom service.

The house it's self is absolutely beautiful and everything you want in a historic (possibly haunted) house. The outside neighborhood cat (grey tabby). Was also an enjoyable temporarily companion.
I would like to nominate the cat for employee of the month. She was available 24/7 and it only cost us a small bag of dry food in tips.
My issue is with the outdated listing. Breakfast is only served on weekends. Not specified in the listing
There isn't check in available after 5pm. I didn't see this in the listing.
There was no staff available at all during our 4 day stay.
Things were noticable dusty throughout the house.
Full trash cans in the dining room.
The listing photos aren't clear. From the photos I thought there was a pool. But there isn't a pool.
The house is conveniently located along the bus route which was super easy to utilize.
Definitely a mixed review. Had I been better informed prior to booking I would have understood. It's just a little disappointing.

Loved the charm of this historic property! We were the only guests at the time and no breakfast available. Lousy shower pressure. The room was hot, although not unbearable with window AC. I liked the experience, but my wife didn’t. If comfort a priority, stay elsewhere.

We arrived to a property that hadn't been cleaned. Though the owner of the property tried to make it right by sending people over to at least change the beds and clean the bathrooms, this ended up being the least of our problems. Heat didn't work in half of the house where 3 of the bedrooms and the majority of the bathrooms were when temperatures dipped below 30 at night. When we plugged in space heaters, it tripped the power to that half of the house. When the owner sent someone to 'fix the heat' all the person did was change the thermostat on the side of the house that heat was working, but did nothing to fix the heat on the side of the house that we had none. When we mentioned to the owner of the property we appreciate what he had tried to do, but we would be trying to get some money back, he responded saying that essentially because the property was 'cheap' for 11 people to stay, that we wouldn't be getting money back. I don't care how 'cheap' it is to stay somewhere, heat and power is something essential to staying even in a motel. On top of that, the property was quite literally falling apart. The pool and hot tub looked like it hadn't been maintained in years. Part of the roof looked like it was bowing. We flushed one of the toilets and water started spraying out from the back of it. We went to close a sliding door to one of the rooms and it just came out of the tracks. There were fire alarms that weren't attached, they were just sitting on the counter.

Do not stay there!

My wife and I had an awful time- so bad that we left after the first night even though we had a reservation for 4 nights. The owner was overwhelmed when we got there and it took some time for us to get settled in our 3rd floor room. He said he would retake care of a burned out bulb on the night table lamp but never did. The sink in the bathroom had no hot water unless you turned the valve underneath. The towels were not clean. The bed was terrible- it made noise every time you moved and the mattress was awful. The breakfast was mediocre at best. When we called to let them know about the problems in the room we did not get any response until 11am the next day by which time we diecided to move to a decent hotel. While the history of the place and the art was interesting, I would never stay there again because of the condition of the place and the lack of concern from the owner/operator. I have never written a bad review of anywhere else (I travel a lot all over the world) but in this case I really felt compelled to do so.

The property appears to have been abandoned for some time. It is in major disrepair inside and out. On approach to the property you first realize the advertised drive way is unusable with out a large 4x4 vehicle. Front door access key pad is broken. Entering the house the smell of mold is overwhelming. Cob webs dust hornet/wasp nest inside the house we found one in sheet on the bed. BED BUGS were found in two of the four bed rooms dead bugs of various types found throughout. Black Mold in one of the furnace rooms completely covering the walls. If the front yard and interior of the home were not bad enough.The real reason our family booked this property was because of the swimming pool and cool water jacuzzi. Both were filthy and inoperable. No electricity to rum pumps in pool and it obviously had not been used in a very long time. We called owner of the property, he had us call the property manager to come clean up and change bedding they came in with a single sheet of paper towel wiped of 1 or 2 surfaces and left promising to come back with pool guy. Owner showed up tried to get electricity working for pool area didnt help and left us to figure it out. Some of our party was fortunate to afford different accommodations at their own expense last minute, the others of us including a pregnant woman and a 2 year old slept on top of covers and breathed moldy air for our two night stay. At the time of composing this review everyone that stayed is sick. Worst experience ever

I would like to start by saying Danielle was amazing! She was so friendly and accommodating. She was definitely the best part of this stay. The house is old and I understand that, but it was in a bit of disrepair.

The listing advertises cooked to order breakfast daily and housekeeping. There was no housekeeping. During our 4 night stay, we were served 2 continental breakfasts, 1 cooked to order breakfast and Saturday there was no breakfast at all. The food that was provided was very good and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

The rooms are air conditioned, but the rest of the house is not. The common areas were very warm and the dining room was quite hot during breakfast.

There is no after hours number to call for when things go wrong. Another guest checked in after 5 pm and the AC in their room was not working. The couple in the room next to us, had to pry their bathroom door open with a butter knife after the handle fell off.

You can walk to the French Quarter. It appears to be a reasonably safe neighborhood.
After fees we paid about $300 per night. Not the best value for sure.

Centrally located property in midtown on Esplanade. I wanted to have easy access to the French Quarter south of the hotel on Esplanade. I walked from Frenchmen to the hotel in 20-25 minutes and it’s about 10 minutes by car depending on traffic.

The GOOD - The buildings aesthetically beautiful, antique furniture, authentic NOLA character with oak trees and Degas sculpture at the front. The master chefs of the kitchen Ms Sharon Ms Alma and Ms D are a formidable team. Best food I eat my entire trip and they took care of me like family.
I stayed in the Josephine which had a window looking out to the neighbour’s balcony. The sheets were soft, bed comfortable and I slept well.

The BAD- Reception desk has limited hours. I arrived late at night I had to retrieve my key from a drop box. Which worked well but it was not a warm welcome for a stranger in a new city. I never met the manager at all. I checked out the way I arrived.
It’s an old historic building so the walls are thin and noise travels easily. There is of course no elevator and a lot of stairs. Lugging my suitcase to my room was no easy feat.

The UGLY - The house is in dire need of repair. Drain of the bath tub was blocked so soapy water collected around my ankles when I took my bath. Face basin was rusty and missing the plunger. The drawers of the antique chest were dirty and unusable. Floor boards were sinking, roof paint peeling. Pity.

It’s a must visit for breakfast and tour of the house. Stay optional

A worthy B&B for a NOLA house experience

I’m from this NOLa neighborhood so I’m biased: the tour was great- more than I expected, very cultural; covered the artist, his family, his art, and NOLa history in 1800’s. The home has all the Victorian charm of 1850’s. The WiFi never worked on the 3rd floor. Also, 3rd floor cools off but be prepared to let AC do the cooling over a few hours upon arrival. I might do 2nd floor next time. The breakfasts were simple & delicious. Enjoyable chats with the staff. Great location. Cable was basic package and didn’t really have any attractive channels. Love the provided sketch pad & pencils as I had a 13yrold artist with me.

When they answered, they said “it is not a hotel”

Good side-great room and breakfast. Bad-another guest easily broke into room saying it was hers. Interior locks are cheap. All electric items were unplugged, so I had to move heavy furniture, including a 200lb plus bed to get things to work. Staff was aware that previous users had unplugged but did not address. Took awhile to reset alarm as normal buttons did not function. Worst issue was tv not properly set to work. Multiple voice mails seeking help were not returned for days and staff did not staff office during posted hours. When I finally got a response, was told that “this is not a hotel.” So bottom line, fine spot unless there is a problem because then you are on your own.

Overall, I was not in the house that is advertised in the photo. The pool was dirty our entire trip. They didn’t start cleaning it until we physically got there and it was way to dark to go swimming in it. It didn’t start clearing up until the actual day that we were leaving. The house was in poor condition. The walls were peeling in the bathroom. The shower and bathtub was peeling and carried a stench. It literally looked like a family just left and said here you go now you can stay. The interior wasn’t pleasant and the day we left, someone physically came in and left his wallet. I’m assuming he ran out once he realized that we hadn’t checked out yet. It was creepy and we ran out as soon as we saw the wallet. Someone had to be staying in the garage while we were there. We kept hearing noises all the time. I have pictures of the bathroom by the way-gross and disappointing unfortunately

Dissatisfied

The bathroom wasn’t clean, dust all over, bugs on the robes in the closet, and the A/C was broke in our room. The only saving grace was the breakfast was delicious, and they gave me a full refund.

The staff is very friendly and the house is in a nice neighborhood - about a mile from City Park. If you don't have a car, you can usually get a Lyft/Uber within 5 minutes. The breakfasts are also amazing. We stayed in the Josephine room, which is quite spacious.

It's an old house and a little worn in parts. For example one of the faucet handles in the shower kept coming off. Although the neighborhood is fairly quiet, ound carries through the house.The staff was very loud when they were getting breakfast ready. Also, the house has a lot of events. There was a wedding and a fashion show going on while we were there, but fortuneatly they didn't go too late.

The house is beautiful, the breakfast is wonderful. The air-conditioning in the Josephine room never worked while we were there, had to sleep with the windows open- they did bring us a box fan. We reported the ac issue the day we arrived and our third day there, all we received was the box fan. We are fortunate we were there in February and not July or we wouldn't have survived the heat and humidity. It's an old house with quirks but the ac going out is a deal breaker.

Missed opportunity

Our room shower was not clean and was dripping loudly throughout the night. When we woke up early to catch our flight, we realized there was not soap in the room. We were only staying that 1 evening and were here for a wedding. The check in process was great, but we dropped our stuff off quickly to take care of wedding stuff and came back late that night after the reception and didn't notice the issues until the morning when we woke to get ready to leave.

The pictures of the Dega house is not well where you’ll be staying it’s a total different house which caught us by surprise because we saw the pictures and thought OK well this is nice this is where will be staying no it was a rundown house that had mold all on the inside of the house the AC to the house did not work they had to bring in AC units to try to cool down the house they brought in that then the power to half the house went out because of the AC units that they brought in was pulling too much juice the roof was leaking the pool was dirty it was just not a very pleasant place to stayWhen you spend $1800 for two nights you want a nice place to stay and I’m telling you when you see the pictures of the Dega house that is not where you’ll be staying don’t get caught by surprise like we did

Loved this hotel!

This B&B is worth every penny. The service and staff were excellent. The history behind the location makes one feel like a part of New Orleans and a nice tour of the hotel is included. The made to order breakfast is delicious! I highly recommend The Degas House and look forward to staying here next time I am in this beautiful and culture-rich city.

Felt like college days

Well i must say my weekend was a bit of a nightmare. I am a frequent visitor to the city and in the interest of diversity i decided to splash out for a stay at the Degas House. Without question the house and staff are top notch.
The problem lies in the fact that the total lack of soundproofing between rooms makes the place little better than a youth hostal.
Friday night i suffered through a batchelorette party that went on until 330am in the neighboring room.
Saturday night the afterparty for the wedding did not end until 430am also in the neighboring room.
Sunday night was relatively peaceful until 1230am when my neighbors returned and proceeded to have a very loud fight! Thankfully this ended relatively quickly and peace finally prevailed.
So you see i am very disappointed with my stay.
Also bed was very uncomfortable

Although the wait staff and breakfast meals were both outstanding, the managerial staff was rude and dismissive to me and my travel companion several times. In addition, the rooms look beautiful in their website photos, but in actuality, the condition of the room was disappointing - holes in the walls, ripped drapes, rusty plumbing, and holes in the floor. The walls were paper thin and we could clearly hear the other guests talking and their TVs in the adjoining rooms. I would not recommend anyone stay here.

Authentic New Orleans experience!

If you're skeptical of staying here b/c it's not in French Quarter, don't be! The $6-8 Uber ride at night (when drinking) was nothing, and the place is a truly authentic experience.

The owner and June are very professional, an committed to you having a great stay.

The breakfast alone makes it worthwhile as Miss Denise and Mister Kevin provided both delicious creole food and a relaxing, warm homey atmosphere.

We stayed in the larger william bell suite, and the smaller Pierre room; both were very pleasant.
From butterflies to bluejays and crows, to friendly neighborhood cats, the whole place is teeming with life and history.

This was a very good experience, and we would return. I'm also thankful I didn't stay in the french quarter.

We arrived about 730 PM. We were lft a msg and email how to get in the Degas house on the right. We were given the combo for the lock box with an envelope with our name on it. All checks. Got up the 3rd floor...key does not work. ..go down stairs. ...no one...back up 3 floors (walk no elevator it would take away from the beautiful B&B)try the key again. .nothing..back down stairs go to Degas house on left and barely catch one of the staff. Mix up with new and old keys..back up three flights. Here's the good part. Complementary sherry in beautiful crystal decanter, soda, beer and water. Breakfast and staff fantastic! ! Helpful, friendly and informative.

Unique hotel experience

My partner and I stayed here while we were in town for a long weekend. We spent two nights in the French Quarter and two nights at the Degas house. I honestly think it was a great decision to see two parts of New Orleans. The Degas house itself is beyond amazing. The old mansion is beautiful and well taken care of. We would definitely stay again, but maybe in a suite next time to have windows. Also, shout out to the delicious homecooked breakfast.

Great bed and breakfast with an interesting histor

A very nice historic house. The plumbing in the room was a bit lacking but that's probably because it's such an old house and we had one of the attic rooms. It was a garrett room so there was no windows.. which Travelers should come to expect from such a room. The hosts were incredibly friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Next time we would probably prefer one of the second floor rooms but the Pierre room was a great value and comfortable none the less

Convenient with good character

Nice place, overall. Certainly an old building, but that was truly made up by the character of the area, the history, the cleanliness, and the decorations. The cooked-to-order breakfast was a nice touch, although we had a weird moment on our last morning. We could hear the ladies in the kitchen complaining a bit about the management as well as the fact that we asked for the same breakfast meal except one of us wanted sausage and the other bacon- both of which were offered to us moments before. Apparently, she didn't want to cook two separate items and decided to voice her displeasure. That seemed to be an odd thing to get mad at and was a little embarassing/awkward at least for me.

The staff was nice otherwise when they were talking to us, so we appreciated the direct hopspitality.

A GREAT VACATION

The house needs some TLC but the ambiance is just what we came for. With some paint and small repairs this would be outstanding. NINA,Who works in the office, suggested a friend who is a cab driver, to take us on a tour of New Orleans . His name is Rickie, What a Great, and informational guide he is! A little pricey but well worth it. He knows all the Great places to eat and go for entertainment. We used him all week. He is a wealth of information!!!!

Beautiful house

This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast. The house is so beautiful and well maintained. We loved sitting out on the balcony and in the charming courtyard. I don't think we'll choose to stay here again in the near future, just because our 3 year old son is so loud and rambunctious that I had to keep telling him to hush so his noise wouldn't carry throughout the house. The house was built in 1852 I believe, so the rooms aren't as soundproof as a new hotel would be. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was friendly. We would love to stay again without the kids, or when they get a bit older.
